McKinleyville Community Health Center

"I had to get a primary care provider. Open door was the closest. My experience with them has been terrible. They seem incapable of even making referrels to specialists. The doctors and nurses I hav3 seen seem incredibly distracted, as if they aren't even listening to me while they look at the computer instead. They mention things in my files that have no relevance and then they go away, to "check" my urine test. They then determine I have an infection, order antibiotics and that's it. They act as if I had not mentioned the other issues I am having concurrent with the infection such as the stumbling, and dizziness.My health has deteriorated since going to them but nothing is done. They do not correct misinformation in my files even though I tell them to. I feel that they don't think holistically and this is a serious problem. They only address specific issues.My best resource is the emergency room to get proper treatment. In sickness, I have been unable to get an appointment . They don't have a list to call people to let them know if they have a cancellation. The receptionists seem to lack knowledge and they lack compassion. What more can I say? I don't even know if there are any better offices to go to that take my insurance."

"Celene Pele thinks she's a doctor. Too bad she couldn't cut it. She's the worst excuse for a doctor I have ever seen in my 61 years."

"Truly terrible. I have never had such bad experiences and I’ve had at least a dozen medical providers across the country. Some staff is good but the doctors I have seen are lazy and clueless. I have great health insurance but I can’t get a decent doctor."

"Rotating staff of doctors and nurses that don’t care about your health, they try to get you in and out as quick as possible without actually addressing your issues. Tried for for months to get a referral for a CT scan and they wrote the referral wrong every time, never got it. They cancel appointments you’ve been waiting months for with no notice. If you value your health avoid this place."

"This facility is a hot mess. The Physicians don't have time to spend with their patients or time to write up files or referrals. They forget. Stay on them. I also had the lovely honor of sitting in the lobby while the crew in the office got doirdash McDonalds at 930 in the morning. I have NEVER experienced a more UNPROFESSIONAL office. There are a handful of 4 star employees, thus the 2 stars. If you can avoid it, do."
